Try to enter http://rutracker.org/forum/index.php to introduce "Tsamo Fund 229" (the South-Western Front Foundation, which included Division). There in the docks look for reporting in October. From the Germans 168 The Infantry Division was exactly in Belgorod.

A piece of German card for October-41

The 227-CD is definitely, and more than once, came across the 168th and 75th PD of Wehrmacht in October.
For these divisions and look! On the 168th, it is very difficult to find info (I myself collect not the first year), try on the 75 PD info to search ...
I will look for the 20th ... While there is this, for example, for October 9, a bit, in proof of combat contact with 227-cd:

"... On the night of October 9, the main forces of the 21st Army, the main forces of the 21st Army, began on the night of October 9. However, if the Cavalrymen of the 2nd QC managed to immediately break away from the enemy and to the end of the day to go to the Boromb region, Bogodukhov. , then the infantry of the 1st GW. SD and the 295th SD had to be not easy. After the 168th PD and part of the forces of the 75th enemy PD hit the defense of the 1st Guards Rifle Division, the army commander with decisive counterattacks 1- A tank brigade and quickly transferring to this site of one of the regiments of the 297th rifle division, stopped their promotion, which made it possible to move away the main forces of the 1st GW. SD and defeated the left of her 295th SD.
The situation on the right flank of the South-Western Front remained difficult. Invented in the junction between the 40th and 21st army of part 75th and 168th infantry divisions on October 9 reached the Sumy Area. but 227th Infantry Division The 40th Army, during an unexpected counterattack on the inclusions of the 75th PD of the enemy, inflicted them with tangible losses in the lively strength and technique, stopping their further promotion. "

And a little more (by the way, a part of 227-SD and 1-GV.SD went through my village and grandfather told about it):
Report by the commander of the 21st Army on hostilities of the 1st Guards Rifle Division [for the period] from 14 to 27 October 1941
- With the receipt of your telegraphic order dated 14.10.41, about the restoration of the front edge and withholding, by all means and articles and Art. Boron Mote was given an order:
... at 14.00 14.10.41, having left for the area of \u200b\u200bthe 331rd Rifle regiment personally, I found the following position: I took the enemy to the infantry battalion. Pestrop, Art. Greats, up to two mouth gunners occupied Art. Boroml and in the area of \u200b\u200bVasilyevka focused before the infantry regiment with artillery. In addition, individual groups of machine gunners force to the battalion acted before the front and flank of the 331th rifle regiment.
- Neighbor on the right 227th Infantry DivisionIn particular, the 1042th rifle regiment, at 19 o'clock (on the report of the commander of the 331th rifle regiment) passed through his combat order to the east.
- Thus, to the outcome 14.10.41 g enemy by force to the division ( 168th Infantry Division) Strengthened movement in the resulting corridor left 227th Rifle Division, which, according to the report of my delegate, was at this time at the turn: bang, samothevka. Division headquarters - Assumption.
- a clear threat was created by my right flank and replanes, which slowly, due to the poor roadside permeability, moved to Slavgorodok.
- During the night from 14 to 15.10.41, in the location of the parts of [Division] and the enemy did not occur.
- During the day 15.10.41, the enemy resumed active actions on the right flank of the division and before the front of the 331th Rifle Regiment, and the head of the junior commanders, which was at this time in the Slavgorod region, brought me that his intelligence discovered the enemy in the Mezenov region. There he was subordinated to himself 1042th Rifle Regiment 227-SD.
- During the day, part of the division continued to defend themselves to defend them by the frontiers and in the evening of 15.10.41. An exclusively severe decor was created - [was] the right flank, which included at least two infantry regiments of the enemy, penetrated to a depth of 4 km, threatening Division's environment. The 331th rifle regiment, leading a stubborn fight with a numerically superior opponent, departed to the eastern outskirts of Boromb, carrying significant losses from the mortar and automatic enemy fire.
- with obtaining your combat order on the discharge of division parts on the line: Ryasnoy, Slavgorodok, a fire, began to immediately fulfill it and during the night. 10/14/31 and the day, 16.10.41, parts went on the specified border of defense, conducting deterrent battles Arrigards.
- During the night at 17 and days 17 and 18.10.41, cars were stretched through the bog in Dunayka, they built a good construction, as a result of which the road was built up to 2 km. In the most difficult conditions, the entire personnel of these units and parts, the most of the spray of fuel, almost in the hands carried out all the vehicles and to the outcome of 19.10.41, focused in the forest of the North-west Zamoy.
- The waste of the vehicle column covered two battalions of the 355th rifle regiment and the Captain Gutarov group with a total number of up to 200 people. The car battalion and the healthy battalion passed the graves and approached the gratuitously. The 4th rifle regiment passed on the route: Zamost, Good Village, Antonovka, Hotymansk, Red Coutock; The 331th rifle regiment, overtaking the 85th rifle regiment, to the outcome of 20.10.41, focused in Kroikovo; The 85th Rifle Regiment 19.10.41 g. By 15 o'clock, he held the western outskirts of Akulinovka.
- By 12.00 19.10.41, the Grevonov was occupied by the enemy. Bridges through r. Vorskla our sappers were blown up. The enemy, leaving part of the forces (up to two battalions of infantry) in the Grevonor, the main part of the forces with the tanks was moving along Bolshaki Greivon - Borisovka, shelling the mortar and instrument fire, which was in motion on the road Good village, good-Ivanovka, popols. Another part of the enemy was powered up to one and a half regiments with horses moving along the northern route: Kosilovo, Ivanovo Fox, breaking, trying to complete the environment ...

There is a lot of information on collisions of 1-gv.cd and 168-PD of Wehrmacht for this period, but on the 227-cd there is nothing practically. Therefore, look for the history of 75 PD of the Wehrmacht, because In this area, the Germans did not have any other divisions, so I think the 227-cd was with her and fought. Successes to you in search!
... from uv., Alexander ...

Some of the memories of Baghamyan:
"... The enemy noticed the waste of our troops and strengthened the attacks. He put the main blows in the army joint. In a difficult situation, it turned out 227th Infantry Division 40th army. Initially, she herself inflicted a strong blow to the inclusing parts of the enemy. The commanders of the regiments were hoping that after big losses, the fascists would not put forward, and, as they say, dismissed the entrance. And complacency never leads to good. On the night of October 10 Fascists suddenly collapsed a powerful blow to the 777th rifle shelf mutually disabled battalions. The regiment commander lost control. The attacked battalions were very stronger, but scattered.
The division of the courage and the resourcefulness of the artillery officers of the 595th artillery regiment. They quickly unfolded tools and met the broken Hitlerians with hurricane fire. This introduced confusion in the opponent's ranks, helped the division commander to bring part in order and organized to move away.
... The departure was unevenly accommodated. "

From the memories of Russians:
"... Bringing the attacks of the foregoing enemy, part of the division already by morning October 10 went to the specified line and organized defense in the strip to 40 km. At the beginning, Nazis did not show activity on our defense site. The main efforts they focused against 227th Rifle Division, operating on the right, and the 295th rifle division, defeated on the left. Under the pressure of superior enemy forces, these compounds again moved to the east. And again, a threat to the environment arose for us, but Commander Major General V. N. Gordov ordered to hold the boss. We managed to repel all the attacks of the Nazis, who tried to break through in the direction of Boroml, Trostyanets. Only in the evening of October 16, the head of the army headquarters, Major, A. I. Danilov, called me and ordered to go to Tomarod, Belgorod. We decided to divert the connection with two columns: the left - 85th and 331th rifle shelves and the first battalion of the 4th rifle regiment; Right - other parts of divisions, control, rear. The weather in those days stood disgusting. Lil rain, and the roads became difficult. Automars, artillery had to be incessantly pulling out of the dirt. "

And a little more than this period, for reflection:
"... by morning October 17
Troops of the front of the front for Rubezh Maksimovovo, Belgorod, Mikoyanovka, Zuppa, Field, Merf, Zaitsev, Andreevka, Balakley, Petrovskaya, Barvenkovo, in line with the Directive of the South Western Front No. 061 / OP, was started on October 17, 1941 with the onset of darkness And he passed in a very heavy setting. This night began to deploy the connection of only right-handed armies: first - the 40th, and then - 21st. Communication with regiments and divisions was often absent, at times there was no connection to the headquarters of the front with the headquarters of the armies. To the outcome of the first half of the day, on October 18, the headquarters of the army did not have accurate information about the nature of the enemy's actions and the location of the divisions subordinates. It was only known that 1 GW. SD, Defense Rubbroze, Yunakovka, Naeshashka, Malakhovka, led the fight with parts of the 75th and 168th PD.
On October 24, the situation on the right flank of the South-West Front changed dramatically. The 40th and 21st Army of the South-Western Front, fulfilling the order of the commander of the front, continued to waste on the bonds indicated by him, pursued by the enemy. In the morning up to two infantry regiments from the 168th PD, reinforced with tanks, unexpectedly passed into the offensive against parts of the 1st GW. SD, defeated Belgorod. The situation was aggravated by the fact that during this period the opponent's aviation was actively operating, which caused several strong bomb assault strikes at the front edge of the division parts defense. Despite the resistance and courage of fighters and commanders who were defended on the approaches to Belgorod, the 168th Infantry Division of the enemy, using the results of aviation strikes and artillery fire, was able to break into the city from different directions and during a short bloody combat on the streets, to 12- Ty the clock to capture it .... "

And here are the German troops who participated in hostilities in the Kharkov-Sumy direction from October 1 to October 30, 1941:
- ha "south"
- 6th
- 29-AK:
299th Infantry Division;
75th Infantry Division;
168th Infantry Division;

P.S. And according to the memories of my grandfather, on retreating, hungry and torn fighters ( 227-SD and 1-GV.SD), Which of our village stopped all the economy (even roting potatoes) was scary to watch. And as I understood from his words, the retreat was unorganized, soften, very fast and panic places. Plus some parts 227-SD, 1-GV.SDand the hell knows what else , fought for several days surrounded by the Golovchansky Forest. The parts that came out of the environment were completed within 5 days 150-160 kilometer march in rainy shoulder strap and absolute off-road levels, in the absence of food, threw all the equipment and artillery on the road, while being under constant mortar shelter, airplanes and entering in battle with German infantry parts from all sides. Therefore, to restore the chronology of the retreat of 227-CD during this period is very difficult. Moreover, it has retired not as a single compound, but fragmented parts, it is not clear how, and has numbered 500 active bayonets. So it goes...

Hello. Very grateful for the answer. Tell me, please, do you have experience with German archival services (such as TsAMO in Russia)? I was recommended to contact the Bundesarhiv, perhaps there are magazines of combat operations of division data and reporting exploration departments and counterintelligence IC. How likely it is? I never heard about those and were or they were in divisions, and in general who could engage in interrogations of prisoners of war in the battle parts of the Wehrmacht. Where would you recommend to apply to clarify the battle path of divisions? Maybe in WAST?
And another question, as deciphered by the data of the abreitatures of the South, - 6-A, - 29-AK (Sixth Army? 29 Army Corps? Army Group "South"?) And what is the name of the village of your grandfather?

About the Bundesarhiva will not tell. I think you should contact Komrada Nachikar With such a question, he is in favor of working with archives.
And the village of my Nikitsky (Rakitansky district of the Belgorod region), which was occupied by the Germans on October 20, 1941.

Here is the placement of forces on this section of the front:

With the receipt of your telegraphic order dated 14.10.41, about the restoration of the front edge and hold, by all means and art. Boron Mote was given an order:
"The commander of the 355th rifle regiment with two battalions to occur in the general direction of Art.

At 14.00 14.10.41, having left in person in the area of \u200b\u200bthe 331th rifle regiment, established the following position: the opponent to the infantry battalion took a led. Pestrop, art.

In addition, individual groups of machine gunners force to the battalion acted before the front and flank of the 331th rifle regiment.
The neighbor on the right of the 227th Infantry Division, in particular the 1042th Rifle Regiment, at 19 o'clock (on the report of the commander of the 331th Rifle Regiment) passed through its combat order to the east.
Thus, to the outcome 14.10.41, the opponent of power to the division (168th Infantry Division) began its strengthened movement into the resulting corridor, left the 227th rifle division, which, according to my delegate, was at this time at the turn: a bang, samothevka. Division headquarters - Assumption.
An explicit threat was created by my right flank and the reasons, which slowly, due to bad road permeability, moved to Slavgorodok.
During the night from 14 to 15.10.41, in the location of the parts of [Division] and the enemy did not occur.
In the afternoon of 15.10.41, the enemy resumed active actions on the right flank of the division and before the front of the 331th Rifle Regiment, and the head of the junior commanders, which was at this time in the Slavgorod region, brought me that his intelligence discovered the enemy in the Messenka district. In the same place, he subordinated to himself the 1042th rifle regiment.
The 4th rifle regiment continued to firmly hold the plot of defense, the crowded crowded in one rifle battalion, capturing five prisoners and destroying the adversary infantry to the company. Two battalions of the 355th rifle regiment reached parhehovsky [and] stroke, having met the strong opponent's resistance, switched to defense.
The 331th rifle regiment continued to hold back to two battalions of the enemy infantry at the turn of the western collar of Boromb.
Throughout the day, part of the division continued to defend those engaged in their binds and in the evening of 15.10.41. An exclusively severe decor was created - [was] the right flank, which included at least two infantry regiments of the enemy, penetrated to a depth of 4 km, threatening Division. The 331th rifle regiment, leading a stubborn fight with a numerically superior opponent, departed to the eastern outskirts of Boromb, carrying significant losses from the mortar and automatic enemy fire.
With the receipt of your combat order on the discharge of the division parts on the line: Ryasnoy, Slavgorodok, a fire, began to immediately fulfill it and during the night on October 15, 1991 and the day, 16.10.41, parts went on the specified border of defense, conducting restraining battle by the ariecards .
In the afternoon of 16.10.41, the division part of the division was occupied: the division headquarters in view of the roads got to the porosis, failing to achieve the command paragraph appointed to him - Smorodino; The 331rd rifle regiment occupied the frontier: (suit.) Drain, northern outskirts of Slavgorodok; 85th rifle regiment - Slavgorodok, stripper; The 355th rifle regiment - (suit.) Hurry, a fire and the 4th rifle regiment focused on reserve - Poroz.
Exceptionally difficult meteorological conditions made roads completely impassable. The material part of artillery, especially on the mechanized traction, was moved slowly, the tractor was spent a large number of fuel.
By this time, part began: the 4th and 355th rifle shelves along the route Poroz, Danube, Zamoy; 85th rifle regiment under the cover of the 331th rifle regiment on the route Dorozh, Ivanovskaya Fox, Nikitsky, Oktyabrskaya Park; Division headquarters on the route of the 4th Rifle Regiment moved to Danika. A car battalion and a healthy-sanitary battalion for two days used to be directed along the route: Slavgorodok, Poroz, Danube, Grevonor, Novoboriovka.
Headquarters, a separate communication battalion, a separate division of PTO, a separate intelligence battalion, the 46th Gobichi Artillery Regiment, a separate anti-aircraft gunner division, 34th artillery regiment on motor vehicles during 16.10.41 Moved in the direction of Danik and only by the end of the day head Started to approach Danika. During the night at 17 and days 17 and 18.10.41, cars pulled through a bog in Dunaica, built to be built, disassembled residential buildings, as a result of which the road was built up to 2 km. In the most difficult conditions, the entire personal composition of the specified units and parts, more expensive in combustion, almost in their hands carried out all the vehicles and to the outcome of 19.10.41, focused in the forest North-west Zamoy.
The deposit of the vehicle column covered the two battalions of the 355th rifle regiment and the Captain Gutarov group with a total number of up to 200 people. The car battalion and the healthy battalion passed the graves and approached the gratuitously. The 4th rifle regiment passed on the route: Zamost, Good Village, Antonovka, Hotymansk, Red Coutock; The 331th rifle regiment, overtaking the 85th rifle regiment, to the outcome of 20.10.41, focused in Kroikovo; The 85th Rifle Regiment 19.10.41 g. By 15 o'clock, he held the western outskirts of Akulinovka.
By 12.00 19.10.41, the Grevonov was busy opponent. Bridges through r. Vorskla our sappers were blown up. The enemy, leaving part of the forces (up to two battalions of infantry) in the Grevonor, the main part of the forces with the tanks was moving along Bolshaki Greivon - Borisovka, shelling the mortar and instrument fire, which was in motion on the road Good village, good-Ivanovka, popols. Another part of the enemy was powered up to one and a half regiments with horses moved along the northern route: Kosylovo, Ivanovskaya Lisens, breaking, trying to complete the environment.
With the onset of darkness of 19.10.41, on the forest path through the mountains 1 km north-west of 187.0, the clots of the 4th and 355th rifle regiments were wagged and, descending into a grank, proceeded to Chuteyzhsk. At the same time, these heights of the 1st battery of the 34th artillery regiment on the mechanized traction and focused [in] broken. As established later, by the same time on the northern outskirts of the Germans, the German infantry is located for the night.
At dawn 20.10.41, between the 1st battery of the 34th artillery regiment and the opponent was struggling. Having a numerical superiority and well-equipped with automata and mortars, Germans, destroying a significant part of the guns and calculations, including the team composition of artillerymen, traveled to breaking the big losses from heroically fought fighters and battery commanders of the 34th artillery regiment, which are direct The tip was frustrated by houses in which the machine gunners were set out from the windows. The remnants of the personal composition of the battery, spoiling the material part, moved to HotyMizh and carried a seriously injured commissioner of the 34th Artillery Regiment of the Senior Battalion Commissioner Tov from the battle. Lobenko.
The ring of the environment of the enemy was shipped.
Outside the environment turned out to be: without vehicles, the 85th rifle regiment with one battery of the 34th artillery regiment; 331th rifle regiment without rear; The 4th rifle regiment without two battalions (one battalion came out of the environment by a separate route and one battalion worked to pull out vehicles) and two batteries of the 34th artillery regiment on horse rod. All these parts continued to waste according to the plan, awarded the head of the 21st Army headquarters. Danilov in the morning 17.10.41 in the Poroz. On the night of 10.10.41, I was ordered by the headquarters of the division's headquarters by the Major T. Kashchev, who was at the foot of the height in front of a breaking, to get through the granny and, the arrogance of the 85th rifle regiment, put him a task with a blow to Ivanovskaya Liser to provide a way parts from the environment. The head of his headquarters reached breaking in the midst of battle in the morning of 20.10.41, where he was killed by a voyage and horse.
The remaining parts organized a circular defense of the UR. The Golovsky Forest, leading mainly battles [in] Zamost, Ivanovo fox, on the western outskirts of breaking. At night from 21 to 22.10.41, I made a decision (combat order No. 554 of 10.22.41), the output of parts from the environment to start on the night from 22 to 23.10.41 by two columns:
Left column is the 355th rifle regiment, chemical company, 46th Gaubic Artillery Regiment, Division Headquarters, Separate Communication Battalion, Battery of the Division Artillery Chief, Separate Anti-Betail Artillery Division, 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 4th Rifle Regiment.

And continued:

In the afternoon of 22.10.41, parts continued to fight on the former defense borders. By 18 o'clock, individual groups of machine gunners and before the infantry battalion broke through the Western Out of the UR. Golovsky Forest. Two anti-aircraft guns were destroyed by the fire of the enemy mortars, and in the area breakdown, one gun of the 34th artillery regiment. The sent intelligence officers to communicate with the Kartashev group goals did not reach the strong fire of automatic gunners. Leaving personally in the 355th rifle regiment for building a column, at 23 o'clock in full, he led on the planned route and by 4.00 on October 23.41. Reached Nikitskoye, where she stopped it for recreation and tightening the 465-year-old-leading artillery regiment, 355- Guo rifle regiment and separate communication battalion.
[B] 8.00 23.10.41 continued march. The 46th Gaubic Artillery Regiment with the 355th Rifle Regiment moved to Eastern Nikitskoye, where at 9 o'clock were subjected to the artillery shelling of the enemy from the river.
[B] 13 o'clock on the western outskirts of Akulinovka was met from the right column of the 883rd rifle regiment headed by his commander who could not report me in detail about the construction and movement of the right column. Without changing the route, at 16 hours of the column reached the forest, which is west of Kryukovo, where he stopped on a two-hour hat.
At 18.00 on 23.10.41, a column was approached as part of the 46th Gaubic Artillery Regiment, the 355th Rifle Shelf and a separate communication battalion. By this time, the expelled intelligence reported that Kryukovo was occupied by the enemy by force to the battalion. The monitoring of the enemy's summies is established by the monitor.
The collected parts of the same column at 18 o'clock 30 minutes moved along the north-west of the unknown well, which was also busy opponent.
In 24 hours reached Fastov, where he gave rest parts. Sent night in the intelligence detachment of the Captain Captain (Sapper Battalion) did not return.
The 46th Gaubic Artillery Regiment due to lack of gasoline further suspended.
By the morning the Division of Captain Rostovtsev approached the morning of the night. From the report of Captain Rostovtsev found that they were lost 3 tools: two captured by the enemy in the area of \u200b\u200bIvanovo Fox and one left in the Oktyabrskaya Park area.
In the morning of 24.10.41, the column without a division Rostovtsev, who [was] was left on vacation, moved along the route: Fastov, local, high, mark 172.2, Cossack, south painting, steppe. The expelled intelligence on the route movement of the column conceded that by the path of the Herrent - a large number of enemy coaming is high. I ordered: the commander of a separate anti-aircraft artillery division and the commander of the chemical company of the Towau [opponent] to destroy. In a 20-minute shootout with the driving and overalling of the enemy, up to 20 German wagons were shot down, turning onto the ride, hiding and the infantry battalion, moving on Butovo. The conversation in which ammunition was located, food, stupid things and chemical mines were destroyed. Two Unter-Officers who belonged to the Saper Battalion of the 75th Infantry Division were highly taken [in] [B] The composition of which includes: 172, 202 and 222-th infantry shelves, the 172th infantry regiment, according to their testimony, stood [B] Dmitrievka.
At 22, the column reached the western outskirts of Pushkarnaya, where, according to the statement of local residents and intelligence data [it was], a large accumulation of infantry and artillery in Pushkarnaya, Streetsky, who passed the same day from Cossacks. I decided to bypass Pushkarnaya in the southwestern outskirts on the steppe, which was reached at 24 hours, where he gave a column of rest.
On 25.10.41, at 12 o'clock 30 minutes, the column in the previous composition was released on the route: steppe, [height] 227.6, birch. At 13 o'clock 30 minutes, the intelligence reported that it was shelled with machine gunners from the forest and the infantry company was moving towards the column, having on the right flank to two plates of the cavalry. In addition, on an altitude of 227.6, machine-guns were installed and manual machine guns. I decided not changing the route, destroy the enemy, for which the battalion of the 4th rifle regiment, a separate anti-aircraft artillery division and the commandant suspension ordered to turn around and go to the offensive. The dedicated group of automatic gunners (7 automata) and manual machine guns have superseded the deployment of units, which made it possible directly from the course to go to the attack. The enemy, without preparing the attack, turned into a flight in the direction of the forest, leaving on the battlefield to 25 killed, belonging to the Supper battalion of the 75th Infantry Division. As a result, a 30-minute battle was scattered to the infantry battalion, two manual machine guns were taken, one large-caliber machine gun, three automaton. Losses: 1 killed, 6 wounded. In the absence of wounded, they had to carry on tents.
At 20 hours of the column, without meeting the resistance, reached birch, where he stopped for the night.

At 8.00 25.10.41, on the way from Berezov I caught up with the 2nd rank of Tov. Parman - the head of the column of all the banners, which reported that his traveling together with the Captain Rostovtsev division moves along the route of the parts running ahead. The accident was a fight with an opponent's turn, which was moving from the Herrent to the high. Up to 8 carts with weapons were destroyed and 2 captives were taken.
27.10.41 at 12 o'clock the column moved along the Lomovovo route, Alekseevka. Having reached the last at 18 o'clock, established a connection with the 85th Rifle Regiment, called to himself personally commander and commissioner of the regiment, from which he learned in detail the provision of previously published parts, and also established a connection with the 34th artillery regiment.
Position of parts acting outside the environment
From 21.10.41, part of the division, which revealed to the subsequent binds, occupied the position:
The 4th rifle regiment by 12.00 21.10.41 focused [in] Tomarovka:
The 331rd Rifle Regiment moved towards Cossack, Dragunskoye and his head went north high;
The 85th rifle regiment, and behind him and all the parts of the parts, stretched out of the local in the direction of the 210.0 mark and at 13 o'clock the head came to the bushes of the north-west of 210.0. By the same time, the equestrian travel reported that from the direction of the Herrent, he was fired by automatic fire and that the enemy's infantry battalion with the ossotes moving along the railway in the direction is high. The head of the division headquarters, who was in the head of the column, the commander of the 85th rifle regiment was tasked: cover with one battalion direction to pech and ensure the passage of parts and accessories in the direction of the new glint, while holding the front of the dark. The 2nd battalion of the 85th rifle regiment, quickly unfolding under the cover of the same rapidly unfolded regimental artillery of the 85th rifle shelf and the battery of the 34th artillery shelf, which shot the straight entrance, moved to the offensive. The enemy, in turn, opened a strong fire from machine guns and heavy mortars. Thanks to the bold actions of the battalion and excellent work of artillery players, two attacks of the enemy with a big losses for him were repulsed, especially persistently advancing part of the opponent's battalion was destroyed, the traffic was divided. The battle was conducted before the onset of darkness, under the cover of which the enemy went to the task was performed. All parts of the parts followed the specified route.
During 23 and 24.10.41, the part occupied the position:
The 4th rifle regiment in the composition of one rifle battalion covered Belgorod;
The 85th rifle regiment - on the eastern shore r. Northern Donets in the Schishino region;
The 331th rifle regiment - in the Black Polyana area. Both [shelf] - front northwest.
During 24.10.41, there were battles on the approaches to Belgorod, in which one rifle battalion of the 4th rifle regiment and the 2nd rifle battalion of the 85th rifle regiment, as well as the remains of the 1st tank brigade.
With dawn 25.10.41. Parts under the cover of two battalions of the 1st Guards Rifle Division were departed in the direction of the Old Town, from which the departure began according to the order of the headquarters of the 21st Army No. 034 on the subsequent bitch until the connection with the group released from the environment .

The part of the division, which was coming out of the environment, was carried out within 5 days 150-160 kilometer march in rainy epaulets and absolute off-road levels, in the absence of food. With the battles, they were fully part of the environment and took the main border of the defense, while maintaining live strength and summary, having lost vehicles and artillery on the mechanized thrust due to the lack of fuel. During this period, no less than one enemy infantry regiment was destroyed, captive and trophies were taken. In these difficult conditions, the actions of the parts and individual divisions were organized well due to the firm and skillful management of the command and political composition with their parts and units. It is especially necessary to note the good work of the warrorist of the 2nd rank of com. Parman, who managed in difficult conditions to withdraw the entire gentle transport of the division. The team, the primary and ordinary part of the division showed remarkable qualities of spirit hardness, resistance and spike friendly.
From the march conducted under environment conditions, we can conclude:
1. The enemy has minor reserves at a depth of 25 to 30 km, which mainly occupy major settlements on large roads. The movement of the sumports and parts occurs in most cases only during the day and rarely at night. The protection of the quartered parts and the fence is absent. The behavior of the enemy in relation to the population of employed areas remains still robbery (take warm things, bread, cattle, bird).
2. Based on the experience of the fight against the rear of the enemy, it is safe to say that to destroy the rear and reserves of the enemy quite enough actions of individual detachments with a number of 100-150 people, armed at least 20 automata, 6 manual machine guns, 2 machine guns equipped with exclusively cartridges and grenades, without douse bags, gas masks, caskens and food with the exception of sugar. The detachments direct on certain routes to certain points with a task of a sudden fly on settlements where reserves or an enemy headquarters are located, assigning at least 3 points to communicate with a detachment using an aircraft.
Division as a result of continuous battles for 4 months suffered large losses in the personnel, armament and material part of artillery. Two attempts to replenish the division were not communicated to the end, as the division immediately was once again included in the fighting. Martial frames of the team composition of the division as a result of the battles of underwear and in the region of Lebedin are mostly lost. The main frames of fighters, to the greater extent updated from the absorbing replenishment in the mountains. Voronezh, exclusively tired and demand recreation, replenishment of weapons and organizational flopping.
The junior command composition is mostly from the Red Army. The posts of the Middle Nach are the most part of the younger commanders.
The last battles in the Boromb region, the environment and the way out of it were strongly reflected in the state of the division.
The loss of the material part of artillery (welcoming and cannon on the mechanized traction), all vehicles, communications, the main part of the rear, the ongoing exit from the environment of individual units put a division in an extremely difficult position.
The battalion combat composition is today an average of 40-50 people. Division at the moment has only 586 active bayonets.
Due to the absence of vehicles, the division is forced to switch all rear to the manpure transport, which causes to switch a significant part of people on its service.
On the regiment there are 1-2 machine guns, and the 4th rifle regiment has no one. Exact information about combat and numerical composition.
I ask for the purpose of preserving the personnel of the Guards Division and bring it to the actual combat readiness to put a question about the command of the South-Western Front on the diverse of the division from the front line for the fastest payment and conference.
In the near future, I ask you to replenish the division by a personnel for staffing parts and special units, as your latest instructions related to organizational events due to the lack of people and the necessary weapons are essentially impossible.
I also ask the staff of the employees of the operational and intelligence offices in which the division feels need. From personnel workers of the operational and intelligence offices, only: Head of Staff, temporarily acting chief of the 1st office, and the head of the 2nd office.
